360 Difference between the xbox 360 Pro and the xbox 360 Arcade?

Hello,
What is the difference between the xbox 360 Pro and the xbox 360 Arcade besides the price? I am going to buy one but i don't understand why one is cheaper than the other. And if you have any recommendations on which one to buy please comment. Thanks for any help.

The Pro/ Elite comes with a 60/120 gb hard drive for you to install Games,download demos and so on and so forth. Other than that they are the same...

Go ahead and buy the 360 elite since sooner or later you will be needing the hard drive.

The arcade is Microsoft's scheme to make more money. At first you think you are saving money, but since the arcade has no hard drive your missing out on a lot of the xboxs features. Once you get frustrated with that you go out and buy a hard drive to get those other features and realize how stupidly expensive they are since they are proprietary to the 360.

For example, a 60GB hard drive costs $100, and a 120GB hard drive costs $150
Factor those prices in an arcade and you'll see you are getting ripped off by buying an arcade since the other bundles include some more stuff also
